HELL YES!
Futura's 2960 seems to be the most remote future the guys had access to, and her technology is NOT an impossible mixture between advanced tech and obscure ghostly-like magic like Zero's. So definitely, Zero doesn't come from Futura's future.
Given the fact Zero's tech has a lot to do with dimensions, I just think Zero (AND Tracy with him) was coming from the future of an alternate dimension/Earth, so yes he is from the future like stated before, but not ours (Futura's).
Seemingly, we can assume Fangster's 2351 belongs to the Ghost World timeline, not ours.
In my new scenario, Zero just visited our Earth in 1945, set up the Ghost Busters, spent decades in our world, and then returned to his dimension in 1980 --- after having rejuvenated Tracy, Kong & Spenser (seniors).
Tracy, being able to interface his mind with Zero's tech, must come from his same dimension.

Wow! These theories are always so interesting to imagine! Thanks!

Wow! These theories are always so interesting to imagine! Thanks! Thank you man, I love theorizing, and this latest theory seems to me the most plausible one about our obscure "celebrity". Just to add something more: I imagine Zero's alternative Earth must be seriously obsessed with Ghostbusting, since they boosted their best man across dimensions just to help our world to get rid of Ghosts. Of course, this doesn't change the FGB space/time continuum is ruled by the Predestination Paradox; the timeline is a Causal Loop.

By the way, in the first post of this thread, you said Tracy can interface his mind with Zero's tech - - can you explain how that works?

Also, regarding your comment about ghostbusting--it might very well be that the ghosts from Zero's world are considerably more dangerous than the ones from any other world. I've been playing a lot of Timesplitters: Future Perfect and I can very easily see the same thing happening here...somewhere along the line, ghosts became smart and dangerous, so Zero and his friends are trying to stop this timeline from coming to pass.

GhostBuggy: language barrier, I just meant he "got" Zero's tech and know how to fix/improve it. Sort of natural affinity with it. nix: wow man, I love your insight.

Now I understand, Prime, thanks! And sorry about that misunderstanding with the technology Zero has, I thought maybe he had a chip implanted in Tracy's brain, for a minute there, ha!

Does the cartoon ever mention Zero, or was he only in the live-action show?

Does the cartoon ever mention Zero Not once. I think, though, that if you combine Madame Why and Futura, you pretty much get Zero.

I'd like to see a follow up to the two Filmation series. Sony GB has had a bunch of renditions, and we have only the two. A modern-day story would be cool. Is Filmation long out of business?

I doubt it, as the OGB seemed to have been doing busts since 1946 (episode "Father Knows Beast" as reference). Unlike sonys GBs, which don't have staying power as suggested in the beginning of GB2, and EGBs first episode. It appears at the start of FGB (cartoon series) they simply were handed over the business and there was no induction that they had stopped. Also, with Futura and her at Ghost Command in 2960, it is clear someone was maintaining the building all those year between.

I wouldn't even mind a modern reboot of GB75 as long as they kept it stapstick and funny. Unfortunately, so many modern day film versions of old TV shows are horrible (I'm looking at you, Dukes of Hazzard movie).

Is Filmation long out of business? Yes, Filmation ended in 1989. You can learn more by clicking the link I posted in the "Looking from the Hauntquarters" section under the title "Lou Documentary!" Strange that they ended in the last year of the 1980's since they represent (in the most beautiful way) the 1980's for so many people (even though they made great stuff the whole time they were in business, starting in 1962). Oh Filmation, how I love thee...let me count the ways...

Yeah, Filmation definitely has its place in history, I'd say. I'm more a fan of their live-action TV shows from the '70's (even though I was born in '82) like Shazam!, The Secrets of Isis, and The Ghost Busters, than their animation. The Secrets of Isis is now available (along with the first season of the Ghostbusters cartoon) on Hulu!
